I've got the Mandela Effect

The Mandela Effect is a recently identified phenomenon; in fact research into it can only be traced back to 2010 and the pioneering website of Fiona Broome. She became interested when she noticed people talking about how they remember things differently to how they actually are recorded in historical records. There is a common error of memory that psychologists call confabulation and everybody experiences it from time to time. You might recall somebody you knew many years ago and haven't seen since; and when you're shown a photograph of them from that same era, they don't resemble your mental image at all. The difference with the Mandela Effect is that large numbers of unconnected people are afflicted by the same misremembrance. The most obvious anomaly refers to Nelson Mandela, the political activist and former president of South Africa; hence the name of the effect. As far as I'm concerned, and most people are, Mandela actually died in 2013, indeed I wrote an obituary to him, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/nelson-mandela-dies.html; but a surprisingly large number of people say they remember Mandela dying in prison in 1986. They have no doubt that they saw news items on TV, newspaper articles and other information at the time, and they recall the incident in detail. If they are mistaken, why are they all mistaken in the same way? I only started looking into the matter in depth a few days ago when somebody wrote to me and told me how they used to watch the Looney Tunes cartoon shorts on TV when they were children. Indeed, I did too and I loved them; characters like Bugs Bunny, Road Runner and Porky Pig. I remember them very well. However I distinctly recall that they were called "Looney Toons", not "Tunes". This is a very clear recollection because the titles of the shorts were in a standardized style with the same theme music. I even made this observation as an adult when I watched the 1990's TV comedy Bottom in which one of the characters insults the other by calling him a "looney tune". This was many years before I gained a serious interest in the paranormal. After receiving this letter I went and double-checked. Sure enough, the series is called Looney Tunes. It ran for twenty-nine years, from 1930 to 69, and was always called Looney Tunes. I was astounded. Not only do I have a memory that I really shouldn't have, but other people have the same memory as well. This is just one example; see the website for many others: http://mandelaeffect.com/about/. At some point a skeptic is going to yell "coincidence!" like they always do, but how realistic is that? (Skeptics themselves don't understand this endemic fallacy of theirs, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/pan-pareidolia.html) There has to be more to the Mandela Effect than that. It could be that it is an artefact of the collective unconscious as theorized the psychologist Carl Jung. The same concept could be behind the "hundredth monkey effect", see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/lyall-watson.html. Another possibility is that people who experience the Mandela Effect are literally moving between different worlds, slipping into parallel universes within the "multiverse". If so, why has the Mandela Effect become more noticeable only within the last few years? Possibly because it is only now that it's being defined properly by Fiona Broome and others; but could it perhaps be also because the structure of our universe has physically changed? If so then what has caused that change? What force could be powerful enough to alter the very fabric of reality? To undermine the foundations of space-time causality?... Regular readers will guess where I'm going with this... The answer is, of course, CERN. See background links below for my detailed discussions about the Large Hadron Collider, what it is capable of and what its real purpose might be. Also Kev Baker has covered this in his radio shows, for example see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVCzq0TwQI0. This is disturbing news. Does it mean that I can no longer be certain of my own past, at least from the point of view of whatever dimension I'm in? Still, I might as well look on the bright side. I might be lucky enough to slip into a universe in which Prof. Brian Cox was never born.

Hinkley Point C Approved

The government has given the go-ahead for the construction of a new nuclear power station to be built at the Hinkley Point site on the Somerset coast. The facility already contains two older power plants; one of them now closed. The new power station will consist of two reactors of Franco-Chinese design built by the French company EDF and their partners in China. Given the unimaginative name of Hinkley Point C, the new power station will generate 3,200 megawatts of power and, along with the new Sizewell C reactors, will contribute to thirteen percent of Britain's electricity supply. Since 2008 the government has been working to phase out the country's aging coal-fired power stations and replace them with renewables like solar and wind farms, gas-fired plants and nuclear power. Didcot B in Oxfordshire, near where I live, has recently been transformed into just such a gas-fired plant. Constructions like these justify increases in fracking and that's just one of the pitfalls of the UK authorities' new energy policy. Wind farms harm wildlife. Bats are particularly at risk, being blown into the blades of the turbines at night. The turbines spoil the natural look of wilderness areas, especially in Scotland. The risks of nuclear power are obvious; radioactive pollution, what to do with the waste and the catastrophic results of major accidents like Fukushima and Chernobyl. To be fair, the latest nuclear reactors are far more advanced and much safer than the older plants that have done the most harm, but nothing is a hundred percent safe, and the consequences of a disaster are so terrible that I think the risk is not justified, however tiny the odds.

The construction of Hinkley Point C will be one of the biggest civil engineering projects in British history. It will generate 24,000 jobs, but the cost of the programme has not yet been assessed. It will be at least eighteen billion pounds and could be as high as twenty-nine billion. This makes it even more expensive than replacing Trident, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/britain-renews-trident.html. At the moment there has been no final plan for the funding of Hinkley Point C. The government are reassuring us that the French and Chinese consortium will probably end up covering the costs, but I've a feeling Mr and Mrs Taxpayer are going to have to dip into their pockets at some point. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37369786. This gloomy and incompetent projection for energy generation is the only one we've got; and it stretches away into the foreseeable future. There are a few exceptions though; the new "ITER" research station is gradually taking shape in the south of France, but the development of hot nuclear fusion power is achingly slow, see: https://www.iter.org/ and: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/return-to-culham.html. A few years ago Nexus magazine warned about the dirty tricks being employed by the nuclear power lobby, see: https://www.nexusmagazine.com/products/nexus-magazines/volume-14/nexus-vol-14-no-2-detail. The driving force behind the justification for nuclear power and even, occasionally and unbelievably, fracking, is the fear of man-made climate change. Environmentalists have become split over this question with "new greens" like George Monbiot and Mark Lynas coming out in support of nuclear power, despite all its dangers and disadvantages, simply because it is Carbon Neutral™, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsjzyIszUHI. Lynas has gone on to produce a pro-nuclear environmentalist propaganda film called Pandora's Promise. As regular readers know, I think that man-made climate change is not real, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/merchants-of-doubt-review.html. However even if it were real, there would still be no justification for today's energy policy. When we take into account the suppression of free energy technology these questions are exposed as a phoney bone of contention; see the background links below for more detail. There are methods of generating power that are safe, infinite, simple and cost almost nothing. They were first developed successfully over a century ago and inventors are coming up with new discoveries all the time. The authorities suppress these discoveries as soon as they appear at the same time that they force us to use dirty, expensive and damaging fossil fuels; either that or dangerous nuclear power. We need to expose this agenda as soon as possible before it's too late. We can at least save ourselves a lot of bother by revealing the truth before we invest a massive amount of time, resources and effort building the new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point.

Hillary's Double

Hillary Clinton is front runner to become the next President of the United States of America; in fact I think she is the "Chosen One", see background links for details. Yet in recent weeks there has been some concern... maybe "concern" is the wrong word... interest regarding her health. This began in July when she appeared to suffer a seizure of some kind, as if she were afflicted by brain damage or epilepsy, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMHOcmDVBP0. Indeed we know that in 2012 she banged her head badly and developed a blood clot inside her brain. Some doctors said she is showing the early symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Then last week she came down with a terrible cough in the middle of a speech. She could hardly get a word out in over four minutes, and then she appears to spit out two large lumps of phlegm into a glass of water, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld-yRgZL-8Y. The notion that Hillary might be ill was ridiculed by the mainstream and skeptic media as a conspiracy theory; however, events last Sunday have removed any lingering doubts... or hopes if you're that way inclined. Secretary Clinton was attending the 15th anniversary of 9/11 memorial event in New York City. She was wearing sunglasses even though the sunshine was not very bright. These could be medical glasses given to people to stop seizures. Then she appeared to become semi-conscious and lost her footing. A US Secret Service van pulled up and her minders helped her into it. Just before she climbed in she fainted and had to be carried. One of her shoes fell off and was left behind, almost in a weird parody of Cinderella, see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-37333909. She was taken to her daughter's home nearby and later returned to the street recovered. One theory is that she suffered from heat exhaustion; however the weather was not very hot that day. Her doctor has since confirmed that she has come down with a mild case of pneumonia, but is responding well to treatment. However, it's obvious she is afflicted by much more serious and chronic illnesses than a wheezy chest. Mrs Clinton is sixty-eight years old and is planning to take on a very tough job. One only has to look at other US Presidents, like Obama, Clinton and George W Bush, before and after they were inaugurated, to see that their eight years in office prematurely aged them about twenty-five years. Hillary will probably not survive even a few weeks in the White House. She's also made some embarrassing blunders since the boost to her popularity at the Democratic National Convention. She gave an address in Reno, Nevada in which she described supporters of Donald Trump as "alt-right", which is actually the name for an internet-based political tendency. She said they are racists, conspiracy theorists and anti-Semites (sound familiar?). She named Alex Jones, Dr David Duke and several other people calling them and those who support them "deplorable!", see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_soeyHVrawY. This is political suicide. One thing no candidate for government ever does is slag off an entire sector of the electorate. Her rival Donald Trump has capitalized on her faux pas to the max, printing T-shirts with slogans like: "I'm one of the Deplorables! VOTE TRUMP!" Is this the end of Hillary's campaign? If she were anybody else, I'd say yes without hesitation; but this is "The Chosen One" we're talking about here. If Hillary Clinton is not healthy enough to stand for Presidential office, or if she even dies, a look-alike actress may well be brought in to pretend to be Hillary. I don't rule out the possibility that Hillary has been cloned and that the actress is waiting in the wings, at a secret government laboratory, and will look exactly like her. An alternative scenario is that Hillary will retire from politics and the Democratic Party will slip in an emergency candidate to face Trump, probably Joe Biden, the current Vice President. If either of these outcomes happen then the only chance Donald Trump has of staying alive is if his polling figures collapse.

Sherlock- The Hounds of Baskerville

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most vivid and iconic fictional characters in literary history. The eccentric detective appeared in four novels and numerous short stories penned by the paranormal researcher Sir Arthur Conan Doyle between 1887 and 1927. At one point Doyle killed off Holmes and then used a plot device in which Holmes retrospectively faked his own death to bring him back to life. This was because his readers put so much pressure on him. The most famous Sherlock Holmes story is The Hound of the Baskervilles which was published in 1901. It is a murder mystery involving a legend of a supernatural man-eating dog that is reputed to haunt Dartmoor in Devon. The story has been adapted into numerous films and television programmes. Many are not set in the Victorian and Edwardian periods which the books emerged in, but are instead contemporary to the time when the adaptations are made; including what I consider the best which was released in 1939 and starred Basil Rathbone as the eponymous character. The latest adaptation of the story is also contemporary. Sherlock is a series made by the BBC and, despite being set in modern Britain, is carefully faithful to Doyle's template.

The Hounds of Baskerville is the second episode of the second season of Sherlock and is loosely based on The Hound of the Baskervilles. What's fascinating about it is that it includes conspiratorial factors in the plot. As in the book, a young man from Devon approaches Holmes and asks him to investigate a death on Dartmoor, possibly caused by a supernatural dog. When he was a child he witnessed his father being killed and eaten by a huge canine monster, much bigger than any other dog he'd ever seen. Since then he had suffered a mental breakdown and was undergoing therapy with a Dr Stapleton; the name of the villain in the novel, in the TV series she is a female psychiatrist and only plays a secondary role. The young man suspects that his father's death might be linked to a nearby secret government laboratory, similar to Porton Down, called Baskerville. Local people have heard rumours that the government is breeding huge genetically modified dogs covertly to be used in warfare. Holmes is famous for being extremely deductive and observant. He can work out a person's entire life story almost at the moment he meets them by cold-reading the tiniest detail. His brother Mycroft Holmes is also a top Westminster official, and so by impersonating him Holmes manages to blag his way inside Baskerville. Mycroft is both helper and obstacle because has also sent Inspector Lestrade to Devon to keep an eye on his errant brother. Holmes and Dr Watson soon discover the truth of what is going on. There are no real giant dogs in Baskerville, but there is an experiment to develop gas that induces confusion and terrifying hallucinations. The idea is to use this as a weapon of war to disorientate and demoralize enemy soldiers on a battlefield. This is being tested on Dartmoor and the young man's father was murdered by one of the scientists there because he was a test subject in the experimental programme and threatened to go public. The fictional project is codenamed H.O.U.N.D., the initials of the scientists who developed it; and it has real life counterparts, such as MK Ultra. Obviously Holmes and Watson eventually unmask the antagonist and solve the case. It's interesting that the BBC would bring this element into their latest adaptation; it would not be very difficult to recreate The Hound of the Baskervilles in its original storyline for the Sherlock series. The Hounds of Baskerville can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sherlock-2-DVD-Benedict-Cumberbatch/dp/B005UL537Y.

Keith Vaz and the Child Abuse Files

There's a very amusing scene in the TV sitcom Blackadder the Third in which Baldrick, one of the characters, is running for Parliament and is asked whether he has a criminal record. He replies: "Absolutely not!" Blackadder protests: "Oh come on, Baldrick. You're going to be an MP for God's sake!" See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE0TWjn3yFQ. Many a true word is spoken in jest. Over the years, from a wide number of sources, I've come to the conclusion that there is no doubt that politicians are on average the most habitual criminals in the world. When it comes to vice, they are virtually in an endemic situation. The number of prostitutes I've heard of who service the government are almost an entire sector of the black market sex industry in itself. Basically, they're all at it! So why have the revelations about Keith Vaz suddenly become such a scandal? Keith Vaz is the Labour MP for Leicester East who has just resigned as chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee after a tabloid newspaper published a story about Mr Vaz having had paid sex with male prostitutes. He is also accused of buying these men drugs, see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37283328. Could it perhaps be because just a month earlier Keith Vaz made a public statement about how the Home Office had "lost" the dossier on Westminster paedophile allegations? See: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/10950940/Keith-Vaz-Home-Office-has-lost-paedophile-files-on-an-industrial-scale.html. A coincidence, you might say. Then is it also a coincidence that Simon Danczuk MP experienced a public media pillorying too, for having raunchy text conversations with a seventeen year old girl, see: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3379840/Labour-MP-Simon-Danczuk-accused-bombarding-17-year-old-girl-sexual-messages-telling-teenager-God-m-horny-asking-want-spank-you.html? Mr Danczuk is one of the loudest voices in Parliament supporting the children said to have been abused and is a good friend of the regular HPANWO Radio guest Brian Clare, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/cyril-smith-was-set-free.html. Is this preventative blackmail? Are we seeing a warning to other politicians, that they must keep quiet about what they know otherwise their sexual excesses will be all over the front pages of the daily Murdochs? You might decide to condemn Mr Vaz and Mr Danczuk for their unprofessional and immoral behaviour... but remember, the men and women they liaised with were consenting adults. That's more than can be said for many of their colleagues as yet still at large.

Truth Mobbed Again!

It's strange how things seem to come along in clusters, like three buses in a row. A few weeks ago I twice had to address two different people who had chosen to subject me to a personal attack on the internet within a month of each other, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/is-ben-emlyn-jones-happy-slapper.html and: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/trystan-swale-and-my-perceived-racism.html. Now it has happened again, or at least I've been made aware of such an assault just now via a comment on one of my posts; I suspect the item goes back much further. Here is the document of concern: http://sharonkilby.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/BEN-EMLYN-JONES-HPANWO.pdf. I have no idea who "Sharon Kilby" or "Sharon Zaki" is. I don't recall meeting anybody with that name. Their tirade against me begins: "Ben is someone in the so-called ‘alternative media’ who I least suspected of being co-intelpro..." What an original concept!... She (or he) then goes on a rant that fills up thirty-three standard PDF pages. The author has studied my every word meticulously and judges me ruthlessly over what could be minor errors of memory, or a human lack of understanding and nerve on my part. For example they write: "He is supposed to be an independent researcher... in the ‘alternative media’ so we might ask why he promoted the HG story for 2 years without even thinking of asking for proof that it was true." Because I made a mistake, Sharon! Thousands of us did! I actually explain that clearly in my publications on Hollie Greig; why didn't you acknowledge that seeing as you've analyzed everything I've said so closely? The author condemns me for my past involvement with the Hollie Greig Hoax Group, Belinda McKenzie, Ian R Crane and Sheva Burton in a form of "guilt by association". I do not apologize for working with these people; in fact the podcasts of interviews with some of them are still there on HPANWO Radio, see links column. Sharon accuses me of being a "liar", a "lying evil subversive", a protector of my "fellow paedo protecting shills", a "conspiraloon" serving my "satanic masters well", possibly a "high up freemason", a "deluded arrogant self-absorbed twat", "fucking idiot", "a thoroughly disgusting sub-human", "a weak cowardly immoral pretender", "lying little fucktard", "a lily-livered
fantasist" and a "treacherous rodent". They also wish that I would "rot in hell. Ben, seriously, get some help for your extreme egocentric and narcissistic behaviour." They misrepresent statements that I've made, such as: "Ben says: 'People have just stopped talking about it now, such as (David) Icke and (Richard D) Hall'. I respond: So that’s ok then! The fact that there is still no resolution is fine by him?" I never meant it like that and the only way somebody could interpret it as such would be if they were looking for ways to twist my words. There's also a "guilt by double association" involved because Sharon lambasts me for being friends with people who are friends with Brian Gerrish, Lou Collins, Sabine McNeil and others whom they disapprove of. They also attempt to discredit me by bringing up completely irrelevant details of my life, such as my interview with WalesOnline and how I got discharged from the Hospital Portering Service, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/how-i-became-ex-hospital-porter.html. They then scrutinize my views on the paranormal and UFO's. Sharon says: "How can we take Ben seriously as a so-called fighter against the NWO when he promotes this kind of nonsense?" In truth I explain carefully and logically why I think these phenomena are not nonsense at all. Does abandoning careful logic in favour of mindless rhetoric makes the Truth movement look more appealing in the author's view?... Sharon then goes on to attack Carla Buckle and smear me for supporting her brave stance against authority, see: http://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/programme-131-podcast-carla-buckle.html. They accuse me of promoting Freeman-on-the-Land "crap" without ever explaining why it is in fact "crap". The same goes for Cathi Morgan, see: http://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/programme-25-podcast-cathi-morgan.html. At the very end of this work of literature, Sharon entreats me to save myself by turning to "God now and asking for the courage to be completely honest." The article is so full of red text and emboldened fonts that it looks like a very long and drawn out final demand. The website homepage begins with the words: Helping to halt the NWO, but the site itself says very little about halting the NWO. All it does is morbidly fixate over other individuals within the anti-NWO community. In the contents column you'll see that I am just one of half a dozen or more people who are given the red-letter treatment by "Sharon", see: http://sharonkilby.co.uk/site/Home_Page.php.

How can I possibly respond to this blustering incoherent cretin? I could hurl insults back at them... tempting! I could lock myself down for a fortnight carefully unpicking this entire indictment, but what would that achieve? Would "Sharon" reply calmly and logically in order to rebut my points one-by-one? Of course not. It would be completely pointless. The greater part of the document is simply noise. I've discussed this with a few other people and they understand what it's like when you encounter a verbally-aggressive person and there is absolutely no way to defend yourself verbally. It is utterly futile to tell them things like: "But that's not true/not fair because...". Everything you say to them, any word that could possibly come out of your mouth, will be turned into ammunition to be fired back at you. "Sharon" or whatever her or his name is, is not trying to make a rational argument; they are trying to produce a piece of violent rhetoric. It's the written equivalent of yelling abuse in somebody's ear. It doesn't matter to them whether what they've said is true or not, or fair or not. All that matters to them is that it is inflammatory and threatening. They hope to break down the reader's own will and coerce them into believing the author's word without question. One of the things that all Truth mobs have in common, whether their target is Kevin Annett, Darren Perks or Larry Warren, is: Sanctity of the Cause. You are either with the Truth mob... or you are with the target of its ire. If you are with the target you are utterly holy other; it's as simple as that. It's an interesting thought experiment to see if Truth mobs can be classified as cults. I believe that I have identified the Seven Signs of a Truth Mob™, see background links below. How closely do these match the warning signs as defined by cult analysts? Here's a twenty-point checklist I found on an anti-cult website:
1. Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.
Yes.
2. No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.
You want to try critically inquiring with "Sharon"? Good luck!
3. No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement.
No, but just because Truth mobs don't usually have budgets. They are 100% voluntary efforts.
4. Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions.
Yes. Truth mobs will always wail portents of eternal woe unless their target is "stopped!"
5. There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.
Yes, see my own experiences in the background links below.
6. Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.
Ditto.
7. There are records, books, news articles, or television programs that document the abuses of the group or leader.
Only those presented by the other side; for instance see David Icke vs Sonia Poulton.
8. Followers feel they can never be "good enough".
No. Anybody can kiss arses and nod their head enough for most Truth mobs.
9. The group leader is always right.
Absolutely!
10. The group leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.
Yes. I had a telephone conversation with "XposeUFOTruth" before I saw through her, and she made it abundantly clear that she and she alone had "the goods" on Darren Perks. Truth mobs will always accuse outsiders of "not knowing what they're talking about!", even after referring everybody they can find to epic and intricately detailed  sources describing their agenda.
11. Members exhibit extreme obsessiveness regarding the group or leader resulting in the exclusion of almost every practical consideration.
Yes. People who fall into Truth mobs never have energy or time to do anything else.
12. Individual identity, the group, the leader and/or God as distinct and separate categories of existence become increasingly blurred. Instead, in the follower's mind these identities become substantially and increasingly fused, as that person's involvement with the group or leader continues and deepens.
Yes, but Truth mobs don't have a God. Their energy instead comes from a devil figure, embodied by the target. However, Truth mobs tend to coalesce around a particular person, or a handful of people, who are the most vociferous and dedicated in the campaign against the target. They become an object of veneration and deference.
13. Whenever the group or leader is criticized or questioned it is characterized as "persecution".
Yes.
14. Members have uncharacteristically stilted and seemingly programmed conversation and mannerisms, cloning of the group or leader in personal behaviour.
Not particularly, however Truth mobs do develop tribal customs and behavioural codes.
15. Dependency upon the group or leader for problem solving, solutions and definitions without meaningful reflective thought. A seeming inability to think independently or analyze situations without the group and leader's involvement.
Yes, or at least certainly during Truth mob activities; which are so consuming of time and energy that this counts as almost everything.
16. Hyperactivity centered on the group or leader's agenda, which seems to supercede any personal goals or individual interests.
Yes. Just see how much material Truth mobbers produce! The amount of attention they pay to their cause is breathtaking.
17. A dramatic loss of spontaneity and sense of humour.
Totally!
18. Increasing isolation from family and old friends unless they demonstrate an interest in the group or leader.
Yup! Just watch your Facebook friends list shrink when a Truth mob breaks out in the middle of your community and you refuse to get involved.
19. Anything the group or leader does can be justified no matter how harsh or harmful.
Yes. This can include hacking, copyright attacks, flagging, doxing, threatening emails, abusive Tweets and messages, smearing and even criminal threats and slander.
20. Former followers are at best considered negative or worse evil and under bad influences. They cannot be trusted and personal contact is avoided.
Yes. There are members of the old Facebook groups who were subjected to Truth mobbing whom I've not spoken to since.
I ask readers to judge for themselves how closely this list resembles my Seven Signs™. I am not the only one who has been caught up in a Truth mob lately. In the background links at the bottom I describe how I've noticed the incidence of Truth movement infighting increase. Since those publications it seems to have expanded even more, if that were even possible. Right now an extremely public tussle has broken out between Max Igan and Ken O'Keefe, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vQYjb-wVEk and: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imuAALmVR50 and: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6oxvcFJRnQ. The signs of shill storm brewing are very manifest indeed: a copious amount of public attention, binary loyalties and supporting groups of either side, black vs white glorification and demonization etc. The dedication and obsession of Truth-mobbers and Shill Squad officers knows no ends. For instance there is a person on YouTube known only as "Deb C" who has become fanatically focused on the anti-NWO filmmaker Chris Everard. Just look at how many videos he or she has uploaded with his name in the title; they go back over two years: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFyohQ8mMlmp2kLROkVCy1Q. I wish I wasn't, and really should not be, surprised. I can almost hear the Illuminati laughing as they look down from their pyramid at their supposed enemies.
